The funny thing was that (on my own) I added some lithium to an MAOI one time, (now I know some people have got away with it), but it was BAD news, I felt like I was going to have a seizure.
I've also had serotonin syndrome on an SSRI + lithium, which a doctor said was not possible, but I didn't care at this point for his opinion, he told me it was just my nerves.
Its not that I don't think the doctors are smart, as they are, but I do think I know my own body better.
